Product Details

CAP Barbell®'s 7' Olympic chrome bar is precision engineered for balance and long-lasting performance. It's designed with a medium-depth, diamond-knurled surface, while swiveling sleeves keep it from warping and reduce pressure on the wrists.

Not much to say here. The bar is free of defects and works as advertised. If you are a power lifter, this won't be the bar for you but for a typical home gym, it works great. I use it for squat, bench press, deadlift and barbell row and it works fine for each.

What else is there to say other than 2" plates fit on it and it stays straight. The knurl and general feel of the bar is about on par with other olympic bars I've used. I'm not as big lifter as I used to be so I'm not able to test its limits. I use it for my home gym and stack mixed iron and rubber weights on it.

This bar is described as an "Olympic" barbell, but the weight of the package was 37 pounds. An Olympic barbell is 45 pounds, so I think it should be noted in the description the weight of the product. I did not actually weigh it myself, but it feels lighter than it should. The bar itself is good looking. There is poor rotation relative to a premium bar, but it is fine for recreational lifting. The knurl is nicely done.
